Recording
The track was initiated during the group's sporadic sessions at Brother Studios and Caribou Ranch throughout the mid 1970s. Due to the public backlash following the release of the Beach Boys' disco "Here Comes the Night", "Good Timin'" was quickly finished with necessary vocal overdubs and rushed as a single.
